Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Airbus A330-203 / KC-30A (MRTT) A39-004 Calls into Rockhampton Airport - And it will be Back!

On Saturday 1 July, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Airbus A330-203 / KC-30A (MRTT) A39-004 was arriving into Rockhampton Airport from Darwin as "Dragon 30".

It taxied in and parked on Gate 6 on the Southern end of the Rockhampton Airport apron where personnel and their cargo were unloaded.

A39-004 was also refuelled and soon after it departed to Adelaide.

Information suggests that the KC-30A will transport more personnel to Rockhampton Airport in the coming days to participate in joint Military Exercise Talisman Saber 2017.

Sincere thanks to local plane spotters Kayanne H and Daniel B for taking the time to capture and send through these great photos!
